Guideline #5 for Return to Fitness & Running 🏃‍♀️Postpartum: Mind your Hips Part 1 (Hip Rotators). These 6 muscles help keep your hips & pelvis stable. 1 of them is also part of your pelvic floor❗️👉You’ll want to check BOTH your hip mobility as well as your hip muscle control. This 1st video shows a good test for your hip mobility. 👉Can you sit in this position comfortably? Is it equal side to side or is 1 hip higher than the other?

The next test: “modified pigeon”. Pit your leg up on a bench or elevated surface and Lean forward-note whether the 2 sides feel similar or if they’re drastically different❓
